This book provides a user-friendly and practical guide to compliance and adjudication under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. Timed to coincide with both the 10th anniversary of the Act coming into force (1 May 2008), and the culmination of its review by parliament, the work will provide an up-to-date compendium of case law and useful materials which will be valuable to the construction industry, legal practitioners, and students.

The book provides a comprehensive and practical coverage both of the adjudication and payment provisions of the act. It is set out in an accessible format dealing in turn with each of the major sections of the Act, and with a separate section of case summaries.

The book will cover the large number of cases and developments since 2001, including the outcome of the 2007 Construction Act Review. It will include the authors' commentary alongside extracts from cases which are often including in drafting the Referral, Response or Reply or any challenge to enforcement in the Courts. It will have the relevant excerpts in one place means that consideration for factual relevance and inclusion in submitted documents will be a quick and easy process.

This title provides an indispensable review of the statutory framework and the judicial guidance over the last decade and is an excellent resource for construction lawyers and industry professionals.

Recenzijos

Given the thorough and accessible style adopted by the authors, it seems likely that this book will become indispensible for anyone in the construction industry who deals with contracts to which the Act applies. * Chantal-Aimée Doerries QC, TECBAR Review * Written and compiled by four acknowledged experts whose experience and technical knowledge spans virtually all aspects of this field (including defence, energy and IT), the book also functions as a handy research resource. There are almost thirty pages of tables of cases and legislation, plus four appendices and a detailed index. Those involved in any aspect of adjudication within the construction industry, whether practitioners, adjudicators or students will find this book invaluable. * Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers *
